[J-core] working on SH-2 emulator.

[D. Jeff Dionne]

I second all of that, but with one caveat: qemu doesn't try to be pipeline accurate, and I'm not even sure I know what that means as soon as you are multi issue.  What I think you really mean is ISA internal state consistent, which (unfortunately)  does expose a bit of pipeline state the way the ISA was originally designed.

What I personally would like to see is if someone could take ownership of the test rom, which was originally done by someone who had an itch to scratch ;) and extend it with corner cases...

Cheers,
J.
